Wingnuts Issue Pop Music Blacklist

The wingnuts over at Townhall have issued a "blacklist" of artists that God-fearing patriots should refuse to support.  

When it comes to musicians who attack conservatives, Christians, Republicans, America -- or alternately, embrace the Left, don't give them your money. Don't buy their albums or their T-shirts and don’t go to their shows. Even if you do like their music, don't pay for it and don't talk it up publicly. Fans are oxygen for these people -- starve them of it and let other musicians start to worry about the reaction if they go after us.

That's not unfair; it's just restoring balance. People who rely on the goodwill of the general public shouldn't be trashing the people who pay their bills. Artists should be flattered, not outraged when Republican politicians want to use their songs. Conservatives in the music industry shouldn't be cowed into silence by threats and abuse while liberal musicians smear the conservatives, Christians, Republicans and patriots who buy their records with no repercussions.

On the list: Madonna, Moby, Bette Midler, Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen, Psy, Sheryl Crow, Rage Against The Machine, Barbra Streisand, and Kanye West.

MISSOURI: Westboro Baptist Church To Picket "Fag Enabler" Bruce Springsteen

The last time we reported on Westboro, they were getting their asses kicked, literally, by veterans at a military funeral. The inevitable lawsuits from that incident will likely fill Westboro's cauldron. Let's hope Springsteen's fans can avoid the same trap.

Bruce Springsteen Endorses Marriage Equality For New Jersey

The man who many believe to be the greatest rock star in American history has endorsed marriage equality for his home state of New Jersey. From Bruce Springsteen's website:

A BRIEF STATEMENT FROM BRUCE
Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I've been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton. I've long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully agree with Governor Corzine when he writes that, "The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is -- a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law." I couldn't agree more with that statement and urge those who support equal treatment for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to let their voices be heard now.

Thanks, Bruce!
